When Blondie abandons Tuco in the desert, watch the rope around Tuco's neck. It changes between shots, sometimes over his left shoulder, and sometimes hanging down in front of him. It is not due to the camera angle. See more...

When Blondie and Tuco are in the POW camp, Tuco tells Blondie to look at their "old friend" Angel Eyes. Yet how did Blondie and Tuco have an "old friend" as they had just met for the first time a few days beforehand? [They did not "just met for the first time a few days beforehand" They have been running the scam of turning in Tuco to get the reward and then freeing him so the reward will be up for sometime.]
Edit
In the final showdown when they do a close up of Angel Eyes' hand moving toward his pistol, you can see that his revolver has a "cap and ball" cylinder in it. Yet he has a belt full of cartridge cases. [The cartridges found on his belt are for his rifle. On his horse he had what I believe was known as a Spencer Cavalry Carbine.]
Edit
During the scene where Blondie and Tuco are wiring the bridge with explosives, Tuco suggests they tell each other their part of the secret. As Blondie is replying, you can see a car drive by in the background. The movie takes place in the 1860s. [I have watched this scene several times and what you say never happens, there is NO car driving by in the background.]
Edit
Watch Tuco's lips while he's saying the "rich but lonely" speech. The words come out of his mouth before he even says them. [The whole movie is dubbed because of the Italian/English language barrier. None of the movie's dialogue matches perfectly because of the dubbing process.]
Edit
When Clint Eastwood blows up the bridge, he lights only one fuse but all of the explosives detonate simultaneously, despite being attached to numerous, separate pilings. [This is entirely possible, as anyone working with relatively unstable explosives like dynamite knows. It's called a 'sympathetic explosion' - the unexploded dynamite goes off when hit by the shock wave created by the first explosion.]
Edit
Near the end of the film Tuco (Eli Wallach) races around Sad Hill cemetery quickly reading hundreds of tombstones in his rapid search for one marked 'Archie Stanton' - in which he believes is buried two hundred thousand dollars in gold. Yet after having found it Blondie (Clint Eastwood) has to assist him in reading the word 'Unknown' marked on the grave next to that of Stanton. Tuco tries "Unk . . . unk . . ." Strange that an illiterate man had just managed to swiftly read so many names. [This is not necessarily a mistake because to find the grave, Tuco only really would have needed to be able to quickly recognize the letters A and S (since any grave with both a first and last name that doesn't start with these two letters, for Archie and Stanton, couldn't be the one he was looking for). He would only need to fully read ones with names that started with A and S and it's conceivable that he didn't run into that many, or any at all before he found the one he was looking for.]
Edit
At the beginning, when the Bad shoots the farmer, he falls down on his stomach. When the farmer's wife sees him dead, he's on his back. [We dont see the farmer falling but when camera switches behind the Bad, the farmer is laying on his back.]
Edit
In the scene where Blondie and Ugly are rigging the bridge with explosives, Blondie has the long fuse in the water, thus becoming wet. Fuses don't work wet. [Blasting fuse is wax coated and does work wet. However, TNT, which they are apparently using, was not invented yet.]
